General Announcements 

Mount St. Francis offering six ‘Letting Go’ Zoom sessions starting on Feb. 18

A series of six Zoom sessions called “Letting Go” will be offered by Mount Saint Francis Center for Spirituality from 7-8:30 p.m. on Feb. 18 and 25, and March 4, 11, 18 and 25.

The sessions will be led by Judy Ribar, the center’s associate director.

The series offers participants an opportunity to consider during Lent what might be getting in the way of a deeper, more peacefully balanced life.

Each week will explore an attachment to physical, mental and emotional “stuff” that can get in the way of truly living a spiritual life. The series will also explore practices for freeing up space for the Holy Spirit to work within during this Lenten season.

Participants may register for all six virtual sessions for $100 or choose individual sessions for $20 each.

To register online, go to mountsaintfrancis.org/letting-go. For questions or to register by phone, call 812-923-0177.

 

Benedict Inn offering six ‘Combating Racism’ sessions starting on Feb. 23

Registration is open to join all or any of six in-person sessions on “Combating Racism” at the Benedict Inn Retreat and Conference Center, 1402 Southern Ave., in Beech Grove, from 7-8:30 p.m. on Feb. 23, March 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30.

The sessions will be led by Dr. Mary Beth Riner, a professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis’ School of Nursing. She has been on a racial-literacy journey for the past five years. Increasing awareness of the harm resulting from racialized public policies and community practices led her to develop an experiential education offering for those seeking faith-based approaches to reducing the harm of racism. She has led this program in parish and prayer group settings.

This interactive program is for those who want to explore how to begin or continue the work of dismantling racism to create a more racially just and compassionate society. The series will explore faith-based and public policy strategies and organizations that are leading local and national anti-racist initiatives; examine personal perspectives on white privilege; and engage in prayer practices seeking racial equity and justice in the United States.

Session topics include white identity development; racial awareness experience activity; Scriptural basis for anti-racism work; the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; cultural arts and literature of people of color; health disparities and social conditions; policing and criminal justice; and becoming a white anti-racist ally.

The cost for all six sessions is $125, or $25 for individual sessions.

To register or for more information, go to benedictinn.org/programs or call 317-788-7581.
